Pediatrics
If you’ve got kids, you know the importance of great pediatric care. You also know that juggling work or school with medical appointments isn’t easy. That’s where UHS comes in!
Pediatrics and family practice specialists care for the children of UMass Amherst students, faculty and staff at our convenient campus location. Our on-site lab and radiology departments, full-service pharmacy and walk-in care clinic are here when you need us!
We care for kids from infancy through adolescence, including:
- routine well-care visits;
- sick visits;
- immunizations, including travel medicine;
- hearing screening;
-
vision screening;
-
developmental and behavioral visits; and
- adolescent gynecological visits.
UHS is not a hospital and does not have an emergency department. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911 for ambulance transportation to a hospital.
Routine care
Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., except on holidays. For an appointment, or to speak with a member of our team, call 577-5311 or 577-5411.
Walk-in care
Walk-in care is available 24/7 during the academic semester, and from 8 a.m. – midnight during intersession. The staff of medical professionals will offer advice and see your child if necessary; an on-call pediatrician is also available as needed. Calls outside of operating hours are answered by nurses and nurse practitioners who can assist you or contact the on-call pediatrician.
To avoid waiting, we encourage appointments during clinic hours whenever possible.
